At pickleball gatherings, with so many identical paddles lined up, do your fellow players struggle to identify yours? Add a personalized pewter-engraved nameplate to your pickleball paddle. It's a stylish way for everyone to recognize your paddle at any court! **Learn the art of creating your own pewter-engraved nameplate, so you can craft a new one whenever you switch paddles. If your loved ones or friends admire it, you can make one for them too!** **What is Handcrafted Pewter Engraving?** Handcrafted pewter engraving is a classic European craft. Pewter is a soft metal with a warm, silvery hue. Using a simple stylus and a design template, you can "engrave" your own unique style into pewter, stroke by stroke, without the need for hammering or fire. **Basic Pewter Engraving Tools** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54388303135_a8e75da520_o_d.jpg .......................................................................... <<< Custom Design Samples >>> Since the printable area on the back of each paddle varies, please refer to the example below to provide the dimensions of the area on your paddle where the pewter engraving can be applied. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55011157793_ae93698c9d.jpg <<< Blank Size Chart >>> Please screenshot the blank size chart below, fill in the dimensions of your paddle's back surface, and the name or text you wish to engrave.

During my pewter engraving studies, I discovered immense joy in the moment of completion, seeing the pewter transformed with embossed designs and refined edges—a truly "WOW" feeling! As the designs gradually emerged, a sense of calm and happiness settled in. In several exhibitions, I combined pewter engraving with clay succulents, where the elegance of pewter complemented the vibrant succulents, creating visually striking and refreshingly novel pieces. I hope to promote the art of pewter engraving and introduce more people to its beauty and the joy of handcrafted pewter. 2017 Certified Instructor for "Versatile Succulent Crafts" in Bread Flower and Paper Clay, Taiwan Bread Flower and Paper Clay Association 2018 Instructor, Rongti Studio Handcrafted Pewter Team 2018 Teacher, Pewter Engraving Elective Course, Mingde Junior High School, Taipei City 2018 [Love Metal, Bless with Tin] Pewter Lifestyle Creation Joint Exhibition 2018 Daxia Gallery Pewter Lifestyle Creation Joint Exhibition 2019 Miaobei Arts and Cultural Center [Tin Sentiment Handcrafted Life Exhibition] 2019 Japanese Certified Metal Embossing Instructor Certification 2019 Instructor, Pewter Engraving Course, [Rongti Summer Handcrafted Family Day] 2019 Instructor, Pewter Engraving Course, [Scenery in Hand - Rongti Handcrafted House Teacher Joint Exhibition] 2021 Instructor, [Beauty of the Sea Course - Mermaid Mirror Pewter Engraving Workshop], Banqiao Dayeh Fair 2021 Instructor, Pewter Engraving Pendant Mirror Workshop for Mother's Day, Guoguo Creative Art Classroom 2021 Instructor, Pewter Engraving Seminar, Hsinchu Vocational High School 2023 Instructor, Pewter Engraving Course, [Neihu Songshan District Disabled Services Center] 2024 [Coral Sea] Coral Restoration and Art Joint Exhibition .......................................................................... ** [Location & Transportation]** **(1) Wonderland Cafe** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51953541878_f7270b6a9b_k_d.jpg ● Exit 1 of MRT Mingde Station.
